somebody is writting IEEE article on HTML5 ... I was recently asked
about helping trace heritage back thru CTSS RUNOFF, DITTO and earlier
... aka original CMS script was re-implementation of CTSS RUNOFF at the
science center for cp40/cms ... moved to cp67/cms when science center
got 360/67 (originally they had done hardware modifications to 360/40
supporting virtual memory for cp40). After GML was invented at the
science center in 1969 (GML selected because it is initials of the
inventors last names), GML tag support was added to CMS script ... a
decade later GML mophs into ISO standard SGML ... and after another
decade SGML morphs into HTML at CERN.
